Homemade Sourdough Bread: A Step-by-Step Guide

The Joy of Sourdough

Sourdough is more than bread - it is a living culture you nurture. The natural fermentation creates complex flavour and a chewy crumb that commercial bread cannot replicate.

What You Need

  • 500g strong bread flour
  • 375ml water (room temperature)
  • 100g active sourdough starter
  • 10g salt

The Process

  1. Autolyse - Mix flour and water, rest 30 mins.
  2. Bulk Ferment - 4-6 hours at room temperature.
  3. Bake - Dutch oven at 250 degrees C for 20 mins lid on, 20 mins lid off.
